Back into it

Had a swing at 2 new areas today, after a week of slacking. Was good to get out again :) I hate finding things with BIG diamond looking things in it. This latest one has a F in a circle stamped on the back of the setting. I reckon the F=Fake ;)

2 Playgrounds

Spent the morning searching a couple parks. One silver and one junk ring plus a little clad.
GL & HH to those that get out over the weekend :)

Single Silver Shilling

After a short morning hunt at park #2 (found a couple half pennys and pennys, along with half of the 1c/2c in the picture below), I then swung by another place that I've been wanting to try for a while. A gate was open this time, so i drove myself in, asked the grounds keeper (mowing the grass in a tractor) if it was alright, and as far as he knew at that time - it was. So, i spent about an hour and a half, and plucked out the goldies, solo silver, along with the rest of the pennys and 1c/2c's from a 50m by 20m area. Found out after i finished, im not actually allowed to MD there. I'll look into it further tho, cause i thought the reasons given were BS! ;)

4 keys, 2 silvers and a wallet

The wallet had $1.01 of old NZ coins and 7c Aussie in its coin holder. Nothing else in it except for the coins and the key. The other 3 keys on the shoelace were found separately. A 1935 shilling and 1941 florin were this afternoons best finds in my mind. The other coins are 2 British pennies (1906 and 1931 in the same hole), an old NZ 20c, two old NZ 10c and a 1951 NZ shilling. GL & HH to those heading out over the weekend :)

Swinging in the Rain

Headed out today for a couple hours while the drizzle was about. Not another person in sight, until it cleared up a bit later in the afternoon. Spent about an hour and a half trying a few different spots for silvers at the picnic area. No silvers today, but the gold colored coins and another junk ring were fun enough to dig :)

2 Months of Digging

Its been a fun first 2 months of metal detecting! I've become more addicted to MDing than i was to gaming! At least im getting a little exercise now. Here is a pic of all the coins found in the 2 months. I'll borrow the better camera again tomorrow to show the other stuff  ;)


The box the ATpro came in makes a good temporary treasure chest ;)
